Corbin (4-13) took the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Corbin has allowed at least four runs in each of his last three starts after briefly appearing to have turned a corner in late June and early July. The southpaw continues to put up solid strikeout totals -- he's posted 35 punchouts in his last 31 innings -- but that's about the only bright spot in his performance. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB across 104.2 innings in 20 starts this year. Corbin's projected for a difficult road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Ashcraft allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight across 4.2 innings Friday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Ashcraft was given five runs of support but he squandered the chance to earn a win by surrendering a two-run home run to Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth inning. On the positive side, he did manage to match his season high in strikeouts while generating 16 called strikes and 13 swinging strikes across 112 total pitches. Ashcraft owns a 4.70 ERA and a 40:15 K:BB across 59.1 innings on the season.

Gallen (5-2) allowed two hits and struck out seven without walking a batter in seven innings Friday, earning the win over the Nationals.

Gallen opened the second half of the campaign with his most dominant performance of the season. Considering he issued multiple walks in each of his prior five starts, his control was a standout part of this win. The stellar outing improved his ERA to 3.31 with a 1.02 WHIP and 96:28 K:BB across 100.2 innings in 18 starts this year. The 26-year-old right-hander is projected for a home start versus the Giants next week.

May (elbow) threw 49 pitches and topped out at 99 mph in a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The right-hander allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters over two innings.

May was scheduled to go three innings in his first outing with the Triple-A squad, but an elevated pitch count led to his removal after two frames. The fireballer averaged 97.1 mph on his sinker, per Ardaya, but he struggled with his control, throwing only 24 of 49 pitches for strikes. May will likely need at least a few more rehab outings, but he could make his season debut for the Dodgers in early or mid-August.

Wainwright (6-8) allowed seven earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two across 5.1 innings to take the loss Friday against the Reds.

Through his first 13 starts and 79.1 innings of the season, Wainwright allowed only five home runs. After serving up two long balls Friday, he's now surrendered eight long balls across his most recent six starts and 31.2 frames. Even so, he's maintained a respectable 4.14 ERA in that same six-start span. On the campaign, Wainwright owns a 3.40 ERA and a 91:34 K:BB across 116.1 innings.

Garrett (2-3) allowed one run on two hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over Pittsburgh.

The only damage against Garrett was a solo home run by Jason Delay in the third frame. His last two starts have come against the Pirates; he's combined to strike out 18 batters while allowing just one run over 12 innings in those outings. The 24-year-old southpaw now owns a 3.42 ERA with a 47:11 K:BB through nine starts this season. Garrett is lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.

Cabrera (elbow) threw three scoreless innings while striking out seven and walking one with Double-A Pensacola on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cabrera was slated to throw four innings, but he still managed to increase his workload to 52 pitches. He could rejoin the Marlins rotation on his next turn through the rotation, though the team could opt to have him work another rehab outing to further build his arm strength.

Luzardo (forearm) threw four no-hit innings while striking out three with Triple-A Jacksonville during a rehab outing Friday.

Luzardo has been sidelined since early May but has now made multiple rehab appearances while building up to 51 pitches. He could make his next start in the big leagues on a limited pitch count, or the Marlins could opt to give him one more rehab outing to further ramp up.

Buehler (elbow) will play light catch Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The activity will mark Buehler's first since being placed on the injured list June 11. He remains optimistic that he'll be able to return to the Dodgers' rotation in mid-to-late September, though he isn't set for another MRI until 12 weeks post-injury -- which would be in early September. Any appearances he makes during the regular season would likely only be to build up his workload for a potential postseason run.

Peralta (lat) will make his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

There wasn't an exact workload disclosed, but manager Craig Counsell did say that Peralta would work multiple innings. He'll work on a starter schedule and will build up an inning per outing. Assuming no major setbacks, Peralta could return in mid-to-late August.
